Portable wide-angle lens offering great image quality and fast focusing.

A 24mm wide-angle prime lens with an 84° angle of view on full-frame DSLRs – perfect for landscape photographers. On EOS cameras featuring APS-C sized sensors, the Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM gives an angle of view equivalent to a 38mm lens on a full-frame camera, making it a useful alternative to a standard lens. 

Shoot in low-light conditions

A maximum aperture of f/2.8 permits hand-held photography in available light without flash. Image stabilisation allows shutter speeds up to four stops slower than usual to be used without the risk of camera shake. 

Fast, quiet autofocus

An ultrasonic autofocus motor (USM) provides fast, near-silent focusing. Full-time manual focus override allows fine adjustment without changing focus modes.

Close focusing

Weighing in at just 280g and measuring 68.4mm x 55.7mm, the Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM is a lens you can take everywhere. Great for reportage and travel photography.

Designed for great image quality
